In late March, it was revealed by Le Parisien that Liverpool were taking a look at Silas Wamangituka, currently playing in Ligue 2 with Paris FC.
The young forward’s performances have attracted a lot of interest this season, with the top five in Ligue 1 travelling to see him alongside other big sides such as Barcelona and Chelsea.
In fact, the Blues are the latest to add themselves to the long list of clubs keeping an eye on the situation, as it’s widely expected Wamangituka will be leaving come the end of the current campaign.
In fact, speaking to Téléfoot, the 19-year-old admitted the interest from clubs such as Liverpool and Chelsea is very welcome.
He said: “It really is a great pleasure for me. These are clubs I was watching when I was younger. Playing in big clubs, that’s essential for me.”
Aiming to end the season on 10 goals before leaving Paris FC, the youngster is two away from his aim, scoring eight in 24 appearances so far, as well as picking up an assist in a 3-0 win over Clermont Foot.
With a price expected to be over €5m, it will be interesting to see who comes knocking for what could very well end up being a gamble.
Our bet is he’ll end up somewhere in Ligue 1, as we can’t see either Liverpool or Chelsea giving him the game time he’ll need next season.
